Methadone Clients Only - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Gilmer, TX.

Methadone is a regulated drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are activated when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to help opiate addicted people so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services beyond daily dosing, although some might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking additional treatment services in Gilmer is highly recommended, such as counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are successful at long term rehabilitation and relapse prevention.
